This  play  presents  Richard  III.  who  mounted  the  throne  after 
Edward  IV.,  having  caused  the  death  of  young  Edward  V.,  of  whom 
he  w.is  uiu  Ir,  and  to  whom  he  was  appointed  protector.  Edward 

IV.  was  of  the  house  of  York,  so  was  ird.     Richmond  who 
killed  him  was  of  the  house  of  Lancaster.     This  was  the  end  of  the 
struggle  between  the  two  houses  of  York  and  Lancaster. 

The  play  begins  by  representing  the  Duke  of  Glostcr,  brother  to 
Edward  IV.,  as  conspiring  to  become  king.  He  first  causes  the 
death  of  his  older  brother  and  then  the  death  of  young  King  Edward 

V,  and  his  brother  Richard.     These  two  boys  were  smothered  in 
the  Ti . 

Becoming  King  he  proved  such  a  bloody  villain  that  the  people 
sided  with  Richmond,  and  in  the  battle  of  Bosworth  he  was  slain. 
He  caused  the  death  of  many  other  persons  than  those  just  enumer- 
ated. To  chop  off  heads  was  evidently  a  pleasure. 

STAGING,  COSTUMES,  ETC. 

There  should  be  a  curtain,  and  this  can  be  easily  made  of  gray 
cambric.  A  wire  is  stretched  from  posts  at  each  corner  of  the  stage. 
The  curtain  will  be  in  two  parts  and  hung  on  the  wire  with  small 
brass  rings;  cords  draw  the  curtains  apart  and  together  ;  this  will  be 
done  by  two  boys  (out  of  sight),  when  the  call  bell  is  struck  as  a  sig- 
nal. Large  Japanese  screens  can  be  put  on  each  side;  behind  them 
the  actors  retire.  Crowns  made  of  stout  cardboard  and  covered  with 
gilt  paper  will  be  worn  by  the  king  and  queen.  The  nobles  will 
wear  swords  ;  these  may  be  made  of  wood  and  painted.  As  it  will 
not  be  possible  to  copy  the  costumes  worn  at  this  period,  it  will  be 
sufficient  if  the  nobles  have  various  colored  cambric  coats,  made  much 
like  a  shirt,  reaching  to  the  knees,  with  a  belt.  The  common  people 
will  wear  shorter  and  tighter  coats  ;  the  priests  and  bishops  will 
wear  gowns  with  no  belts  ;  the  ladies  will  wear  loose-fitting  long 
gowns.  The  belts  may  have  the  name  painted  on  in  white  (as  "Stan- 
ley "),  so  the  audience  may  understand  the  situation.  There  will  be 


Shakespeare's  King  Richard  the  Third.  3 

helmets  of  silver  paper  for  the  soldiers  (no  guns,  only  swords).  The 
ghosts  will  be  enveloped  in  sheets. 

Richard  will  be  represented  as  humpbacked.  There  must  be 
good  acting  ;  where  several  are  on  the  stage,  of  all  things  do  not 
allow  the  nonspeakers  to  stand  stiffly;  let  them  pretend  to  talk  to 
each  other  and  make  the  scene  real.  There  must  be  graceful  bow- 
ing, greeting,  and  gesturing  ;  the  hat  is  often  doffed,  especially  by 
those  of  lower  rank. 

An  older  pupil  (boy  or  girl)  will  appear  when  the  curtain  rises  (a 
bell  being  struck  to  announce  the  beginning),  who  will  bow  to  the 
audience  and  give  an  outline  of  the  play. 

PROLOGUE.

RiVhard  the  Second  (the  one  in  the  fourth  line) 
had  been  overcome  by  Bolingbroke  and  deposed  by 
Parliament.  This  Holingbroke  belonged  to  the 
house-  ot  !  mil  it  displeased  the  great  house 

of  York  that  their  opponents  should  control  the 
government,  and  thus  began  those  famous  struggles 
termed  the  "  Wars  of  the  Roses,"  that  lasted  for 
many  years.  Bolingbroke  took  the  title  of  Henry 
Fourth.  Henry  Fifth  and  Sixth  followed.  The 
Yorkists  strove  for  the  crown  in  Henry  the  Sixth's 
time,  as  he  became  insane,  and  Edward  of  York  be- 
came King.  Upon  his  death  his  young  son  Edward 
was  put  under  the  protection  of  Richard,  Duke  of 
Glostcr,  brothef  of  the  late  king.  Instead  of  put- 
ting the  crown  on  Prince  Edward's  head  he  deter- 
mined to  wear  it  himself;  so  he  put  the  prince  and 
his  brother  in  the  Tower  and  had  them  murdered, 
they  were  smothered  there.  He  had  previously 
caused  the  death  of  his  brother  Clarence.  This  and 
other  crimes  caused  such  horror  that  Richmond 
headed  an  army  against  him  and  a  great  battle  was 
fought  at  Bosworth  in  which  Richard  was  killed. 

Richard  the  Third  was  a  man  of  great  courage, 
little  of  stature,  humpbacked,  ill-formed,  malicious, 
wrathful  and  envious,  but  withal  a  man  of  decided 
ability.  He  had  several  great  men  associated  with 
him,  some  who  held  to  him  to  the  last,  as  Ratcliff 
and  Catesby  ;  Buckingham  held  to  him  until  he  pro- 
posed to  murder  the  princes  and  then  he  revolted. 

The  play  begins  during  the  life  of  Kclward  Fourth. 
Richard  is  then  Duke  of  Gloster,  and  the  play  will 
begin  by  his  appearance  before  you.  (Exit!)

ACT  I. 

Enter  GLOSTER. 

Glos.  Now  is  the  winter  of  our  discontent 
Made  glorious  summer  by  this  son  of  York  ; 
Instead  of  war  we  shall  have  merry  times. — 
But  I  that  am  not  shaped  for  sportive  tricks, 
Nor  made  to  court  an  amorous  looking  glass, 
Why,  I,  in  this  weak  piping  time  of  peace 
Have  no  delight  to  pass  away  the  time, 
And,  therefore,  since  I  cannot  prove  a  lover, 
I  am  determined  to  prove  a  villain, 
And  hate  the  idle  pleasures  of  these  days. — 
I'll  set  my  brother  Clarence  and  the  King 
In  deadly  hate  the  one  against  the  other. — 
Dive,  thoughts,  down    to   my  soul,   here    Clarence 
comes. 

Enter  CLARENCE,  guarded,  and  BRAKENBURY. 

Brother,  good  day ;  what  means  this  armed  guard 
That  waits  upon  your  Grace  ? 

Clar.  His  Majesty 

Hath  ordered  to  convey  me  to  the  Tower. 

Glos.  Upon  what  cause  ? 

Clar.  Because  my  name  is  George. 
He  harkens  after  prophecies  and  dreams, 
And  says  a  wizard  told  him  that  by  George 
His  issue  disinherited  should  be. 

Glos.  Tis  not  the   King  that   sends   you  to  the 

Tower  ; 
My  Lady  Grey,  his  wife,  Clarence,  'tis  she. 


6  Shakespeare's  King  R:  •  c  TbirJ. 

Brak.  His  Majesty  hath  straitly  given  in  charge 
That  no  man  shall  have  private  conference, 
(  >f  what  degree  soever,  with  his  brotln  r. 

Clar.  We   know   thy   charge,    Brakenbury,   and 
will  obey. 

Glos.  Hrotlu-r,  farewell,  I  will  unto  the  King 
And  do  my  best  to  free  you. 
Well,  your  imprisonment  shall  not  be  long. 

(Exeunt  CLARENCE,  BRAKENBURY,  and  guard) 

Go,  tread  the  path  that  thou  shalt  ne'er  return. 
Simple,  plain  Clarence.     I  do  love  thee  so 
That  I  will  shortly  send  thy  soul  to  Heaven. — 

Hut  who  comes  here  ? 

Enter  HASTINGS. 

Hast.  Good  time  of  day  unto  my  gracious  lord. 

Glos.  As  much  unto  my  good  Lord  Chamberlain. 
What  news  abroad  ? 

Hast.  No  news  so  bad  abroad  as  this  at  home ; 
The  King  is  sickly,  weak,  and  melancholy. 

Glos.  Now,  by  Saint  Paul,  this  news  is  bad  indeed. 
What,  is  he  in  bed  ? 

Hast.   He  is. 

Glos.  Go  you  before  and  I  will  follow  you. 

(Exit  HASTINGS.) 

I'll  in  to  urge  his  hatred  more  to  Clarence. 
And  if  I  fail  not  in  my  deep  intent 
Clarence  hath  not  another  day  to  live.     (Exit) 

After  a  short  absence — re-enters. 

The  secret  mischiefs  that  I  set  abroad 
I  lay  unto  the  grievous  charge  of  others. 


Shakespeare's  King  Richard  the  Third.  7 

Enter  two  Murderers. 

But,  soft !  here  come  my  executioners. 
How  now,  my  hardy,  stout  resolved  mates. 
Are  you  now  going  to  dispatch  this  thing  ? 

\st.  M.  We  are,  my  lord,  and  come  to  have  the 

warrant 
That  we  may  be  admitted  where  he  is. 

Glos.  Well  thought  upon;  I  have  it  here  about  me. 
But,  sirs,  be  sudden  in  the  execution. 

2d.  M.  Tut,   tut,   my  lord,  we  will   not  stand    to 
prate.  (Exeunt.) 

ACT  II. 

Enter   King   EDWARD   (sick),    Queen  ELIZABETH, 
BUCKINGHAM,  HASTINGS,  RIVERS,  and  others. 

King  E.  And  now  in  peace  my  soul  shall  part  to 

Heaven 

Since  I  have  made  my  friends  at  peace  on  earth. 
Rivers  and  Hastings  take  each  other's  hands ; 
Now,  princely  Buckingham,  seal  thou  this  league ; 
There  wanteth  now  our  brother  Gloster  here 
To  make  the  perfect  period  of  this  peace. 

Buck.  And  in  good  time,  here  comes  the  noble 
Duke. 

Enter  GLOSTER. 

Glos.  Good  morrow  to  my  sovereign   King  and 

Queen  ; 
And,  princely  peers,  a  happy  time  of  day. 

King  E.  Brother,  we  have  done  deeds  of  charity, 
Made  peace  of  enmity,  fair  love  of  hate, 


8  Shakespeare's  King  Richard  the  Third. 

Glos.  A  blessed  labor,  my  most  soven  ;c. 

Among  this  princely  heap  if  any  heir. 
If  rver  any  grudge  \.crc  lodged  between  us, 
I  hate  it  and  desire  all  good  men's  love  ; 
'Tis  death  to  me  to  be  at  enmity. 

Q.  El.  My  sovereign  lord,  I  do  beseech  your  High- 
ness 
To  take  our  brother  Clarence  to  your  grace. 

(£*#.) 

Glos.  Who  knows  not,   that   t  tic  duke   is 

dead.  (They  all  start.) 

King  E.  Who  knows    not   he    is   dead  ?      Who 

knows  he  is  ? 
Is  Clarence  dead  ?     The  order  was  reversed. 

Glos.   But  he,  poor  man,  by  your  first  order  died. 
(Exeunt  all  but  RIVERS.) 

Enter  Queen  ELIZABETH,  distractedly,  and  Duchess 
of  YORK. 

Q.  El.  Edward,  my  lord,  thy  son,  is  dead. 
O,  who  shall  hinder  me  to  wail  and  weep, 
To  chide  my  fortune  and  torment  myself. 

Duch.  Thou  hast  the  comfort  of  thy  children  left 

thee, 

But  death  hath  snatched  my  husband  from  my  arms 
And  plucked  two  crutches  from  my  feeble  hands — 
Clarence  and  Edward. 

Riv.   Madam,  bethink  you  like  a  careful  mother, 
Of  the  young  prince,  your  son,  send  straight  for  him  ; 
Let  him  be  crowned,  in  him  your  comfort  lives. 


Shakespeare's  King  Richard  the  Third.  9 

Enter  GLOSTER,  BUCKINGHAM,  and  STANLEY. 

Glos.  (to  Queen).   Sister,  have   comfort  ;  all  of  us 

have  cause 
To  wail  the  dimming  of  our  shining  star. 

(To  Duchess.} 

Madam,  my  mother,  I  do  cry  your  mercy ; 
I  did  not  see  your  Grace  ;  humbly  on  my  knee 
I  crave  your  blessing. 

Duck.   God  bless  thee  and  put  meekness  in  thy 

heart, 
Love,  charity,  obedience,  and  true  duty. 

Glos.  Amen  (aside)  and  make  me  die  a  good  old 

man, 

That  is  the  butt-end  of  a  mother's  blessing; 
1  marvel  that  her  Grace  did  leave  it  out. 

Buck.  Me  seemeth  good  that  with  some  little  train, 
Forthwith  from  Ludlow  the  young  Prince  be  fetch'd 
Hither  to  London,  to  be  crown'd  our  King. 

Stan.  And  so  say  I. 

Glos.   Then  be  it  so,  and  go  we  to  determine 
Who  they  shall  be  that  straight  shall  post  to  Lud- 
low.       (Exeunt  all  but  BUCK,  and  GLOS.) 

Buck.   My  lord,  whoever  journeys  to  the  Prince 
For  God's  sake  let  us  two  not  stay  at  home. 

Glos.   My  oracle,  my  prophet,  my  dear  cousin, 
I,  as  a  child,  will  go  by  thy  direction.      (Exeunt.} 
Enter  Citizens. 

ist.   Doth  the  news  hold  of  good  King  Edward's 
death  ? 

2d.   Ay,  sir,  it  is  too  true  ;  God  help  the  while. 

%d.   Then,  masters,  look  to  see  a  troublous  world. 

4//2.  Woe  to  that  land  that's  governed  by  a  child.

\st.   O,  full  of  danger  is  the  Duke  of  Gloster. 
2d.    But  leave  it  all  to  God.      Whither  away? 
3^.    Marry,  u  e  were  sent  for  to  the  justices. 
4///.   And  so  was  I  ;   I'll  bear  you  company. 

(Exeunt.) 

;     Archbishop,   Duchess    and  young    Duke     of 
YORK,  Queen  ELIZABETH. 

Duck.    I  long  with  all  my  heart  to  see  the  Prince. 
Archb.  Last    night,  I  hear,  they   lay  at    North- 
ampton ; 
To-morrow   or  next  day,  they  will  be  here. 

Enter  Messenger. 

What  news  ? 

Mess.  Such  news,  my  lord,  as  grieves  me  to  re- 
port. 

Lord  Rivers  and  Lord  Grey  are  sent  to  Pomfret, 
With  them  Sir  Thomas  Vaughn,  prisoners. 

Av<//.   Who  hath  committed  th 

Mess.  The  mighty  Dukes 

Gloster  and  Buckingham. 

Q.  El.  Ah,  me,  I  see  the  downfall  of  our  House. 
I  see,  as  in  a  map,  the  end  of  all. 
Come,  come,  my  boy  ;  we  will  to  the  sanctuary. 
Madam,  farewell.  (Exeunt.) 

ACT   III. 

A  trumpet  sounds;  enter  Prince  EDWARD,  GLOSTER, 
BUCKINGHAM,  CATESBY,  Cardinal,  and  others. 

Buck.    Welcome,    sweet    Prince,    to    London,  to 
your  chamber. 


Shakespeare's  King  Richard  the  Third.  1 1 

Glos.   My  lord,  the  Mayor  of  London   comes  to 
greet  you. 

Enter  Lord  Mayor  and  train. 
Mayor.    God    bless  your  Grace  with  health    and 

happy  days. 
Prince.   I  thank  you,  good  my  lord,  and   thank 

you  all.  (Mayor  retires.} 

I  thought  my  mother  and  my  brother  York 
Would  long  ere  this  have  met  us  on  the  way. 

Enter  HASTINGS. 

Welcome,  my  lord,  what,  will  our  mother  come  ? 

Hast.   The  Queen,  your  mother,  and  your  brother 

York 
Have  taken  sanctuary. 

Buck.   Fie !  what  an  indirect  and  peevish  course 
Is  this  of  hers.     Lord  Cardinal,  will  your  Grace 
Persuade  the  Queen  to  send  the  Duke  of  York 
Unto  his  princely  brother  presently  ? 
If  she  deny, — Lord  Hastings,  go  with  him 
And  from  her  jealous  arms  pluck  him  perforce. 

Card.  Come  on,  Lord  Hastings,  will  you  go  with 
me  ? 

Hast.   I  will,  my  lord. 

Prince.  Good    lords,  make  all   the   speedy  haste 

you  may.  (Exeunt  Card,  and  HAST.) 

Say,  Uncle  Gloster,  if  our  brother  come, 
Where  shall  we  sojourn  till  our  coronation  ? 

Glos.  If  I  may  counsel  you,  some  day  or  two 
Your  Highness  shall  repose  you  at  the  Tower. 

Prince.  I  do  not  like  the  Tower,  of  any  place. 

Enter  YORK  with  HASTINGS. 


12  Shakespeare's  King  Richard  tbe  Third. 

Richard  of  York,  how  fares  our  loving  brother  ? 

York.  Well,  my  dread  lord,  so  must  I  call  you 
now. 

Glos.  How  fares  our  cousin,  noble  lord  of  York  ? 

York.   I  thank  you,  gentle  uncle. 
I  pray  you,  uncle,  give  me  this  dagi; 

Glos.   My  dagger,   little   cousin  ?     With    all   my 
heart. 

Prince.  A  beggar,  brother  ? 

York.  Of  my  kind  uncle  that  I  know  will  give-. 

(Receives  dagger.) 

Glos.  Myself  and  my  good  cousin  Buckingham 
Will  to  your  mother  to  entreat  of  her 
To  meet  you  at  the  Tower  and  welcome  you. 

York.  What,  will  you  go  unto  the  Tower,    my 
lord  ? 

Prince.  My  Lord  Protector  needs  will  have  it  so. 

York.  I  shall  net  sleep  in  quiet  at  the  Tower. 

Glos.   Why,  \\  !iat  should  you  fear  ? 

York.   Marry,  my  uncle  Clarence's  angry  ghost; 
My  grandam  told  me  he  was  murdered  there. 

Prince.   I  fear  no  uncles  dead. 

Glos.  Nor  none  that  live,  I  hope. 

Prince.  But  come,  my  lord  ;  with  a  heavy  heart 
Thinking  on  them,  go  I  unto  the  Tower. 

(Exeunt  Prince,  YORK,  and  others.) 

Buck.  Come  hither,  Catesby. 
(Aside)  Thou  knowest  our  reasons  urged  upon  the 

way  ; 

What  think'st  thou  ?     Is  it  not  an  easy  matter 
To  make  William  Lord  Hastings  of  our  mind, 


Shakespeare's  King  Richard  the  Third.  13 

For  the  installment  of  this  noble  duke 
In  the  seat  royal  of  this  famous  isle  ? 

Gates.  He  for  his  father's  sake  so  loves  the  Prince 
That  he  will  not  be  won  to  aught  against  him. 

Buck.  What  think'st  thou,  then,  of  Stanley  ? 

Gates.    He  will  do  all  in  all  as  Hastings  doth. 

Buck.   Go,  gentle  Catesby, 

And,  as  it  were  far  off,  sound  thou  Lord  Hastings, 
How  he  doth  stand  effected  to  our  purpose  ; 
And  summon  him  to-morrow  to  the  Tower. 
Good  Catesby,  go,  effect  this  business  soundly. 

(Exit  CATESBY.) 

My  lord,  what  shall  we  do  if  we  perceive 
Lord  Hastings  will  not  yield  to  our  complots  ? 

Glos.   Chop  off  his  head;  somewhat  we  will  do; 
And  look,  when  I  am  King,  claim  thou  of  me 
Th'  earldom  of  Hereford  and  the  movables 
Whereof  the  King,  my  brother,  stood  possessed. 

Buck.   I'll    claim    that    promise    at  your   Grace's

Enter  HASTINGS  and  CATESBY,  meeting. 

Gates.   Many  good  morrows  to  my  noble  lord. 

Hast.  Good  morrow,  Catesby;  you  are  early  stir- 
ring. 
What  news,  what  news  in  this  our  tottering  state  ? 

Gates.   It  is  a  reeling  world  indeed,  my  lord, 
And  I  believe  it  never  will  stand  upright 
Till  Richard  wear  the  garland  of  the  realm. 

Hast.   How  wear  the  garland  ?     Dost  thou  mean 
the  crown  ? 

Gates.   Ay,  my  good  lord. 


14  Shakespeare  s  King  Ricbard  tbe  T 

Hast.   I'll  have  this  crown  of  mine  cut  from  my 


Before  I'll  see  the  crown  so  foul  misplaced. 
But  canst  thou  guess  that  he  doth  aim  at  it  ? 

Gates.  Ay,  on  my  life  ;    and  hopes  to  find  you 

forward 

Upon  his  party  for  the  gain  thereof. 
You  know  that  he  has  caused  this  very  day 
Your  enemies  three  to  die  at  Pomfret. 

Hast.   I  am  no  mourner  for  that  m 
But,  that  I'll  give  my  voice  on  Richard's  side 
To  bar  my  master's  heirs  in  true  descent, 
God  knows  I  will  not  do  it  to  the  death 

Gates.   Both    princely   Richard  and   great   Buck- 

ingham 

Make  high  account  of  you. 
(Aside)  For  they  account  his  head  upon  the  bridge. 

Hast.   I  know  they  do  ;  and  I  have  well  deserved 
it.  (Exit  CATESBY.) 

Enter  BUCKINGHAM. 

Hast.  What  !  go  you  toward  the  Tower? 
Buck.  I  do,  my  lord,  but  long  I  cannot  stay  there; 
I  shall  return  before  your  lordship  thence. 

Hast.  Nay,  like  enough,  for  I  stay  dinner  there. 
Buck,  (aside)    And  supper  too,  altho'  thou  know'st 

it  not. 
Come  will  you  go  ? 

Hast.   I'll  wait  upon  your  lordship.

BUCKINGHAM,  STANLEY,  HASTINGS,  Bishop  of  ELY, 
and  others,  sitting  at  a  table. 

Hast.   Now,  noble  peers,  the  cause  why  we  are 

met 
Is  to  determine  of  the  coronation. 

Buck.  Are  all  things  ready  for  that  royal  time? 
Stan.  They  are,  and  wants  but  nomination. 
Buck.  Who    knows    the    Lord    Protector's  mind 

herein  ? 
Ely.   In  happy  time  here  comes  the  duke  himself. 

GLOSTER  enters. 

Glos.  My  noble  lords  and  cousins  all,  good  mor- 
row. 

My  lord  of  Ely,  when  I  was  last  in  Holborn 
I  saw  good  strawberries  in  your  garden  there. 
I  do  beseech  you  send  for  some  of  them. 

Ely.   Marry  and  will,  my  lord,  with  all  my  heart. 

(Exit.} 
Glos.   Cousin  of  Buckingham,  a  word  with  you. 

{Exeunt  GLOSTER  and  BUCKINGHAM.) 

Hast.  His  Grace  looks  cheerfully  and  smooth  to- 
day. 

Marry,  with  no  man  here  is  he  offended, 
For,  were  he,  he  had  shown  it  in  his  looks. 

(Re-enter  GLOSTER  and  BUCKINGHAM.) 

Glos.   I  pray  you  all,  tell  me  what  they  deserve 
That  do  conspire  my  death  with  devilish  plots  ? 


1 6  Shakespeare  s  King  Richard  the  7V 

Hast.   I  say,  my  lord,  they  have  deserved  death. 

G/i>s.    Then  be  your  eyes  the  witness  of  their  evil, 
Look  how  I  am  bewitched  ;   behold  my  arm 
Is  like  a  blasted  sapling,  wither'd  up; 
And  this  by  Edward's  wife,  that  monstrous  witch. 

Hast.  If  they   have  done  this    monstrous   thing, 
my  gracious  lord. — 

Glos.   If,  thou  protector  of  this  damn'd  harlot, 
Talk'st  thou  to  me  of  ifs  ?     Thou  art  a  traitor. 
Off  with  his  head.     Now  by  Saint  Paul  I  swear 
I  will  not  dine  until,  until  I  see  the  same. 
Lovel  and  Ratcliff  look  that  it  be  done. 
The  rest  that  love  me,  rise  and  follow  me. 
Exeunt  all  but  HASTINGS,  RATCLIFF  and  LOVEL. 

Hast.  O  momentary  grace  of  mortal  men, 
Which  we  more  hunt  for  than  the  grace  of  God. 

Lav.  Come,  come,  dispatch  ;  'tis  bootless  to  ex- 
claim. 

Hast.   O  bloody  Richard,  miserable  England. 
But  lead  me  to  the  block  ;  bear  him  my  head, 
They  smile  at  me  who  shortly  shall  be  dead.

lives. 

Buck.  True,  noble  prince. 

K.  Rich.  True  noble  prince. 

Cousin,  thou  wert  not  wont  to  be  so  dull. 
Shall  I  be  plain  ?     I  wish  the  bastards  dead  ; 
And  I  would  have  it  suddenly  performed. 
Bztck.  Your  Grace  may  do  your  pleasure. 
K.  Rich.  Say,  have  I  thy  consent  that  they  shall 

die?

lord, 
Before  I  positively  speak  herein.

Would  tempt  unto  a  close  exploit  of  death  ? 
Page.  I  know  a  discontented  gentleman  ; 
Gold  will  no  doubt  tempt  him  to  anything. 
K.  Rich.  What  is  his  name  ? 
Page.  His  name,  my  lord,  is  Tyrrel.

Foes  to  my  rest  and  my  sweet  sleep  disturbers, 
Are  they  I  would  have  you  deal  upon. 
Tyrrel,  I  mean  those  bastards  in  the  Tower. 

Tyr.  Let  me  have  open  means  to  come  to  them 
And  soon  I'll  rid  you  from  the  fear  of  them. 

K.  Rich.  Rise,  and  lend  thine  ear  (whispers). 
There  is  no  more  but  so ;  say  it  is  done 
And  I  will  love  thee  and  prefer  thee  for  it. 

Tyr.  I  will  dispatch  it  straight.

Of  what  you  promised  me.

K.  Rick.  Well,  but  what's  o'clock  ? 

Buck.  Upon  the  stroke  of  ten. 

K.  Rich.  Well,  let  it  strike. 
I  am  not  in  the  giving  vein  to-day. 

(Turns  away — all  exeunt  but  BUCKINGHAM.) 

Buck.  Is  it  even  so  ?    Rewards  he  my  true  service 
With  such  contempt  ?    Made  I  him  King  for  this  ? 
O,  let  me  think  on  Hastings  and  begone 
To  Breaknock,  while  my  fearful  head  is  on. 


Enter  TYRREL. 

Tyr.  The  tyrannous  and  bloody  act  is  done. 
Dighton  and  Forrest,  whom  I  did  suborn 
To  do  this  ruthless  piece  of  butchery, 
Wept  like  two  children  in  their  death's  sad  story. 

Enter  King  RICHARD. 

All  health  my  sovereign  lord. 

K.  Rich.  Kind  Tyrrel,  am  I  happy  in  thy  news  ? 

Tyr.  If  to  have  done  the  thing  you  gave  in  charge 
Beget  your  happiness,  be  happy  then, 
For  it  is  done. 

K.  Rich.  But  didst  thou  see  them  dead  ? 

Tyr.  I  did,  my  lord. 

K.  Rich.  And  buried,  gentle  Tyrrel  ? 

Tyr.  The  chaplain  of  the  Tower  hath  buried  them  ; 
But  where,  to  say  the  truth,  I  do  not  know. 

K.  Rich.  Come  to  me,  Tyrrel,  soon  after  supper, 
When  thou  shalt  tell  the  process  of  their  death. 
Farewell  till  then. 

Tyr.  I  humbly  take  my  leave.  (Exit?)

K.  Rich.  Good  news,  or  bad,  that  thou  comest  in 

so  bluntly  ? 
Cates.  Bad  news,  my  lord  ;  Buckingham  is  in  the 

field.

Hover  about  me  with  your  airy  wings, 
And  hear  your  mother's  lamentations.

That  I  may  live  to  say,  The  dog  is  dead.     (Exit.}

Duck.  O,  let  me  speak.

Duck.  Therefore  take  with  thee  my  most  heavy 

curse  ; 

Bloody  thou  art,  bloody  will  be  thy  end  ; 
Shame  serves  thy  life  and  will  thy  death  attend. 

(Exit.) 

K.  Rich,  (to  Queen  El.  going).     Stay,  madam, 
I  must  speak  a  word  with  you. 
You  have  a  daughter  called  Elizabeth, 
Virtuous  and  fair,  royal  and  gracious. 
Then  know  that  from  my  soul  I  love  thy  daughter, 
And  do  intend  to  make  her  Queen  of  England. 

Q.  El.  Send  her  a  letter  of  thy  noble  deeds  ; 
Thou'rt  the  very  man  that  slew  her  brothers ; 
Twas  thou  that  mad'st  away  her  uncle  Clarence. 

K.   Rick.  Look,  what  is   done    cannot    now    be 

mended. 

Men  will  deal  unadvisedly  sometimes. 
Go  then,  my  mother,  to  thy  daughter  go  ; 
Prepare  her  ears  to  hear  a  wooer's  tale. 
Plead  what  I  will  be,  not  what  1  have  been. 

Q.  El.   I  go.     Write  to  me  very  shortly 
And  you  shall  understand  from  me  her  mind. 

K.  Rick.   Bear  to  her  my  true  love's  kiss  (kisses 

her)  and  so  farewell.  (Exit  Q.  El.)

K.  Rich.  What  heir  of  York  is  there  alive  but  we  ? 
And  who  is  England's  king  but  great  York's  heir  ? 
Thou  wilt  revolt  and  fly  to  him,  I  fear. 

Stan.  No,  mighty  liege,  therefore  mistrust  me  not.

Now  brings  destruction  on  this  wicked  head.

quit thee  ; 

Lo  here,  this  long-usurped  royalty 
From  the  dead  temples  of  this  bloody  wretch 
Have  I  plucked  off  to  grace  thy  brows  withal. 
Wear  it,  enjoy  it,  make  much  of  it. 

Richmond.   Proclaim  a  pardon  to  the  soldiers  fled 
That  in  submission  will  return  to  us. 
And,  then,  as  we  have  taken  the  sacrament, 
We  will  unite  the  white  rose  and  the  red: 
Smile,  Heaven,  on  this  fair  conjunction. 
O  now  let  Richmond  and  Elizabeth, 
The  true  successors  of  each  royal  house, 
By  God's  fair  ordinance  conjoin  together. 
Now  civil  wounds  are  stopped  ;  peace  lives  again. 
That  she  may  long  live  here,  God  say  Amen. 

All  bow  and  shout  : 

Long  live  the  king!

Entertainment 


What  difficulties  teachers  have  in  trying  to  provide  suitable 
material  for  school  entertainments  and  how  much  money  they 
spend  without  very  satisfactory  results.  Here  are  seventeen 
books,  all  new,  made  with  the  needs  of  the  teachers  in  view, 
containing  exercises  of  the  most  attractive  kind  for  every  school 
occasion.  They  give  sufficient  material  for  many  years  at  a  cost 
much  less  than  would  otherwise  be  expended  for  something 
that  cannot  prove  as  satisfactory.
